Decorations, compliments of Kimberly along with the peanut butter ganache brownies. So YUMMY!!! Who knew there was peanut butter ganache. Well, that's what happens when Kimberly and Alexis get together. Love the moving display stand the brownie cupcakes are on.

WORK

So a few months ago I was in court for 10 hours. The transcript wasn't ordered at that time, WAHOO or so I thought. They are appealing it, so I ended up having to transcribe "the beast", 430-page transcript. Almost an entire ream of paper. It took FOREVER. Two entire weeks of working nonstop, all day, every day.
JMU started again, too. I'm working with students who are taking Int'l Finance, Econometrics, History from 1500, Marketing, and even a graduate program for teaching foreign languages. I love my free education. No tests, no quizzes, I just sit back and take in what I want. Although, the Int'l Finance professor talks about 300 words per minute, and I'm seriously not even exaggerating. WHEW, another busy semester.

1st Day of School

Alexis had a very successful 1st week of school. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She's got some really good teachers this year and already has homework. Her favorite class is Science. Lunch is always a favorite, too.

IOWA

This is Lucy.

Jocelyn, Taylor, and Cayden.

Alexis took Cayden for a ride in the wagon. Alexis spent a few weeks this summer in Iowa. She had a great time. She loved tubing down the Iowa River.

Six Flags, Hurricane Bay

Yes, that blue and yellow thing in the back is a water slide. So much fun. This was the first time Anna and Maggie had been to a water park and they were very hesitant about going down any water slides. After they went on the first one they loved it and couldn't get enough.

Hanging out in the wave pool.

We had a great time with Maggie and Anna. Alexis enjoyed having friends over for an entire week. They have so much fun together.

On our way home we hit some major traffic, so we decided to stop at Kabab Palace for dinner. They're open 24 hours, YEAH. Dinner at 11 and then another midnight tour of DC. Anna, Maggie's sister hadn't seen the monuments in DC before. She was oohing and aahing at the size of the monuments. They are spectacular to see.
